BPFConntrackTimers overides the default values for the specified conntrack timer if
set. It is a key-value make, where each value can be either a duration or `auto` to
pick the value from a Linux conntrack timeout.

Possible values for the keys are: CreationGracePeriod, TCPPreEstablished,
TCPEstablished, TCPFinsSeen, TCPResetSeen, UDPLastSeen, GenericIPLastSeen,
ICMPLastSeen.

Unset or incorrect values are replaced by the default values with a warning log for
incorrect values.

Current auto mappings:

TCPPreEstablished: nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent
TCPEstablished:    nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_established
TCPFinsSeen:       nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait
GenericIPLastSeen: nf_conntrack_generic_timeout
ICMPLastSeen:      nf_conntrack_icmp_timeout

If there is no mapping, 'auto' is replaced by the default value.

[Default:
     CreationGracePeriod: 10s
     TCPPreEstablished:   20s
     TCPEstablished:      1h
     TCPFinsSeen:         auto (30s is default)
     TCPResetSeen:        40s
     UDPLastSeen:         60s
     GenericIPLastSeen:   10m
     ICMPLastSeen:        5s
